Can this be used on any laptop that uses 2.5 inch IDE hard drive regardless of what the laptop brand / model is? How about Averatec 6130-HS?

Should work with any computer with an IDE connector. Don't know the specs for an "Averatec 6130-HS".

Good question. The Averatec 6130-HS has some form of 60 gig hard hard but what type is not specified. Closes spec I found........ http://www.pcworld.com/product/1331755/averatec-6130hs-notebook.html If this is the averatec webpage it is unhelpfully at best........ :( http://ww35.averatec.com/?ga=26hQTu5UScL6ig5gX66DufoXomgt22Zjhkdu4RsiuL7sygPZu4hcVa2RdzCSZAgtPIpgqBZJ9I9y4p4il7vkl87obvj48bo9IVp6ZKZ1L0LWAZ%2B8rGhliQBvj4Z8OrMzNomZOA%2Ffgr8q7TmUudNaG3pFxuGhuEqY1VNQoBBG9ijj1ZXMLIaVTq4L9gmLuZj%2F&gqsg=Kj09b%2FcZsUD%2Bk5trtSVCQEL1wEkc%2BPFxXCiRSAIKKM94R25YWIjzKOad6LLImdGT&maxads=0&gerf=5%2Fs55zxha%2F2GnFSP58WwYQn%2FAh%2F67AyrN57u5KyX1hYcB%2BnObJm4ch9S1iT9VHKX8A3UFtfcLCWhqtwZRx0OlJXr2M4OSJT2xHhu4LsXICdLglHMWjInkQKF3HqlWsm8&&query=Restore%20a%20Computer&afdToken=CroBChMImKehnLK7wQIVMG8wCh1ZEwBDEAoYASAEUPzuogFQj9H5AVCT4YwDUJDRxARQ_sfJBVCL-qUNUM28qBNQ6pXgFlC5i6EgUPagrSlQ5tenOlCt2tlfULSI-WZQ45TclwFQ9YHulwFQ6YLulwFQsoTulwFQ-4XulwFQ8KaXnQFQrN-vwwFQqL6axgJQ-oPYnQNo_O6iAXEUjoIsmmhqIY0BjZ85sJEBsN9DkJ8R6cCRARTd5C7Q6mTTEhkAnIUCSkis4G0ff9dCEiad2CEtkaiueXbh The drive you are looking at is PATA. I would suggest carefully taking the laptop apart and the HD may tell you if it is PATA. The number of pins on the drive connector may be the best indication. Amazon also has a similar 80 Gig drive for a good price however after some searching around I think the drive you are looking at is the largest gamble I would make on any Averatec!

I used the one I got on a dell with an ide busAs far as I know all the computers I have encountered with 2.5 inch hard drives (about 6or7) would have been able to use this drive

Yes, I would say it could be used in any laptop brand. Hope this is helpful.

It will work in both a notebook and desktop PC. I replaced the original HDD in a desktop HP dc7800, running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional; Intel Core Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 4 GB RAM. Performance has been dramatic since replacing the original drive. I'll never use another HDD as a main drive in any system I own from now on.

Hughes, sorry to hear that the product did not work for you. I ordered the same hard drive for my Toshiba which uses the IDE connector and it worked fine. In same laptops it is not easy to fit in the hard drive and align the pins properly but if your laptops uses IDE connectors, I am very positive that the product will work. As far as i know, the hard drive is either a SATA, PATA or IDE kind of technology. And if it IDE, that drive should be able to work. However, your situation may be different am not sure, but all i say mine is working fine. Otherwise you can also try to compare with the old one and see if there is a match. Thank you.

Should be able to use it as long as it is a SATA ( serial )drive. Older IDE drives are not compatible.

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

I do not know the specific models that this HD will work for but works in my inspiron from dell check the compatibility listings

If it is the older type that uses an IDE/ATA HDD, then yes, but if you need an SATA which all the new laptop/notebooks have, your out of luck.

Hi Dear Andrew ,This Enclosure will not fit IDE Drive.Here is what recommended.Solution A.You can search ORICO 3012SUSA3-C.However this item may not available for most sellers.Solution B.First of all,Search ORICO IS330 IDE to SATA Adapter.Then you can attach IDE Drive to any ORICO Dock (not enclosure) which is easy to use IDE / SATA adapter to manage your IDE Drive.

Hi, It looks like an IDE Hard drive (it was a small picture I found) so yes it should work with this.

Works with any laptop that uses a 2.5 sata hd. Most laptop have an adapter that connects to the drive to connect to the motherboard. If you are replacing a drive u can use the adapter from the old drive.

I don't know, but here are the more specific questions you should be asking:1. Will it fit correctly? There are two different sizes of 2.5" HDDs (normal & slim)2. Does the laptop support SATA II?3. Do you have the restore disks to reinstall everything? (Not specific to this HDD)

I used a Western Digital Scorpio drive, but any laptop drive (2.5" size) should work.

It worked great on my 3.5 drives, both IDE and serial ATA. I don't have any 2.5 drives, so I can't answer to that.

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

Hi Connor.....as long as both are IDE then it should work OK. I did a bit of research on both the Sabrent and the fujitsu drive model you posted and it appears it is also an IDE. It worked fine with my old WD 40GB 2.5 IDE HD that I used in the enclosure to transfer work I did at home to my office computer, and vise versa for several years. HTH

probably yes, as most major manufacturers use standard 2.5 inch hard drives, they then add a proprietary adapter and connector that you will have to remove from the existing drive i do not own a dell notebook so i cannot verify this as 100% correct

Not sure if they use the 3.5 or2.5 laptop drives. Try the SSD tho. They work great..
